3.1 Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations: 1994
In the interest of safety, it is the law that all gas appliances are installed by a competent person in
accordance with the above Regulations, Building Regulations/Building Standards Scotland, Codes of

that the law is complied with.
Important - If the water heater is to be fitted in a timber framed buiding it should be fitted in
accordance with the British Gas publication; Guide for Gas Installation in Timber Frame Housing:
Reference DM2. If in doubt advice must be sought from the Local Gas Region of British Gas Plc.
3.2 Location of the water heater
The installation of the TALENT must be on a suitable non-combustible load bearing wall which will
provide an adequate fixing for the boiler mounting bolts. The location should be in an area where the
water pipes will not be subjected to frost conditions. In siting the water heater the following limitations
must be observed:
The water heater may be installed in any room or internal space, although particular attention
is drawn to the requirements of the current, i.e. wiring regulations and in Scotland the electrical
provisions of the building regulations applicable in Scotland, with respect to the installation of the
water heater in a room or internal space containing a bath or shower.
Where a room sealed appliance is installed in a room containing a bath or shower any electrical
switch or appliance control utilising mains electricity, should be so situated that it cannot be touched
by a person using the bath or shower.
